How my skin went from this….

To this ✨

I wish I could say there was a magical routine or diet that changed everything for me but honestly, I just needed to love myself.

I constantly found myself in relationships with people who never made me feel like I was enough, getting sick often, partying/drinking excessively, comparing myself to every girl I saw on the internet, eating terrrribly, obsessively spending my last dollar to find a magical look or product or outfit or item that would finally make me feel beautiful.

Nothing worked.

I hated looking at my photos and would NEVER post anything without an edit or a filter because I embarrassed of my stubborn skin. Taking photos was literally uncomfortable and something I had to force myself to do for about 2 years… looking back at these photos I hardly even recognize myself because I was just so lost.

it wasn’t until I started loving myself the way I always hoped to be loved, that I began seeing myself blossom 🌸

I started doing things that made me feel alive, happy and beautiful. Taking sexy dance classes and doing photo shoots, posting positive reminders around the house and talking kindly to myself and to others, taking care of my health and eating foods that were good for my gut, limiting social media and unfollowing people who made me feel I was anything less than perfect, surrounding myself with people who fueled me and believing I am worthy dang it!! All these things combined I have found to be the cure to LIFE. Of course loving the way you look is great but how i feel and how others feel around me now is the greatest reward of all. I feel more me than ever.

My past relationships really took a toll on me mentally and physically. Now after being single for 4 years, I know exactly the kind of person I want to be with and am able to show up as the best version of myself for my future partner
